Former Florida Deputy Confesses to Double Homicide Decades After the Fact
In 1979 and 1980, former Charlotte County Sheriff’s Deputy John Greer was implicated in the deaths of his wife, Jackie Greer, and store clerk Adele Easterly, both victims of fatal shootings. Decades later, in 2023, Greer confessed to killing both women during an interview at a Tennessee care facility, though the circumstances surrounding his wife’s death remain unclear. Greer, who died in 2024, had resigned from the sheriff’s office amid an internal investigation involving another woman. The Charlotte County Sheriff’s Office continues to investigate Greer’s potential involvement in other crimes.
